Assertion (A): Inside the two-phase region, pressure and temperature are not independent.
Reason (R): Along the saturation curve one fixes the other, so a further property such as quality is needed to locate the state.

  • A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C.A is true but R is false
  • D.A is false but R is true

Answer: A

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Both are true and the reason gives the consequence. Inside the two-phase envelope the saturation relation ties pressure and temperature together, so specifying both fixes nothing beyond which saturation state it is. A second, independent property is needed - the quality, or equivalently the specific volume - to say where between the saturated liquid and saturated vapour the mixture lies.
